Burası Muş'tur

Space has an encompassing and generative role as an indispensable part of human beings. People who have strong ties with the land where they were born and raised also establish closeness with different places in later times. Undoubtedly, everyone has a city, a hometown; There are places where he experienced his joys and pains, lands for which he longed, lands where he ate his bread. Or there is a home that he left behind in the face of oppression and pain, a homeland that he could not return to for years, and the "homelessness of homelessness" that remains as a wound in his soul. So where to look at Muş? From the mouth of the one who sings the famous folk song, or from the place where the one who leaves does not return? Is it because of the long and snowy winter? Is it from the plain decorated with poppies/tulips when spring comes, from the muddy Murat coast that bursts with excitement? the "hill road" where the fog drags you into the unknown?

Of course, all these questions have important implications regarding the relationship between people and cities in Muş. Of course, apart from the emotional dimension of this relationship, there are many records about the city and situations that have become evident with some events that have occurred since the past. In short, it is possible to come across traces from many aspects in the context of the relationship between people and place in Muş, as in other geographies/countries.

The study titled "This is Muş": History, Society, Culture and Literature, compiled by Ercan Çağlayan, covers the changes from history to literature, from economics to politics, from education to culture, from ethnic groups to nationalisms, from music to architecture, from tribal organizations to dengbêjs and ultimately the changes in the daily life of the city through Muş. It aims to reveal the continuities and discontinuities between yesterday and today in many areas, from the university to the effects of local, national and global winds in transformations. In addition, Muş's recognition in academia, the scientific world and the public; On the other hand, it is hoped that it will be considered as a modest source for studies on Muş and the region.
